BillLipson Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just completed my first lesson in a Drifter out of Gympie QLD. Loved it and really hooked. Thinking of buying a second hand XAir and would really like to meet any owners who currently have XAirs in SE Qld to talk pros and cons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDQDI Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Welcome Bill. There is nothing quiet like flying so please keep us updated with your progress. How did you get interested in it? Has it been a long term aim or a spur decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it been a long term aim or a spur decision? Thanks for your good wishes. I caught up with an old friend in the Whitsundays recently and he has been flying ultralights for a lot of years. I've done a lot of long distance sailing and found the similarities between that and cross country flying uncanny (airfoil dynamics, navigation, small engine maintenance, safety procedures, voyage planning, et). A little bit of web research later and the bug has bitten! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
